Dunblane Cathedral

I was very excited to learn that we did have one field trip this semester, because originally I supposed all the field trips to be a thing of semester one only. The first place we visited today was Dunblane Cathedral. Dunblane is in Perthshire, and Professor Driscoll, our guide for the first two sites, told us that was in an important place, as being on the edge of the highlands.

The reason we were visiting the cathedral was because of a square tower which stood out from the rest of the cathedral (built in the late middle ages) and dating from the 12th century, earlier than the church. It is a free standing tower, and once would have dominated a landscape of buildings surrounding the cathedral area.
